Want to follow too much news and get too much information, but
have too little time? Then you want the free Firefox add-in
Feedly, which lets you assemble your own personalized online
newspaper from countless information sources across the Web. To get
the latest info all you need to do is head to your personal Feedly
page, and it's all there, waiting for you, gathered via RSS and
Twitter feeds.

Install the add-on, and a new Feedly icon appears just to the
left of the Firefox address bar. Click it, and you get sent to your
Feedly page. (You'll need to log in using a Google account.) The
first time you go there, you'll find a pre-built front page,
waiting for you, with news and information from around the Web.
Click any story to read it. You can also mark a story as read so
that it disappears from the page, save it, and share it with others
via social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

There are other pages in addition to the front page, including
one that lists just the most recently updated news and information,
another that has stories you've decided to save, another that shows
the most popular stories from other Feedly users, and so on.

That's just the beginning, though. Feedly's real power comes
from the way you can customize it for your own interests. Feedly
delivers information via RSS feeds, and you can add information
from any feed to your Feedly pages, eliminate feeds. You can also
change the layout and look as well. Feedly integrates with Google's
RSS reader Google Reader, so it grabs your feed information from
Google Reader.

There's one slight drawback to Feedly: It can be somewhat
confusing to set up and customize for the first time. Be prepared
to spend a little time getting it right. Once you do, you'll find
it a great way to keep up with information and news.

Note: This link takes you to the add-on's page
at Mozilla.org, where you can automatically install the file into
your Firefox browser.
